this screw affords means for edjusing the @lmnp yoke 22 through-Mie slot l0 lo enable the clamp comprising the plate lo' und .Woke 22 to firmly grasp the edge el the windshield, or its frame. The screw 25 ie of uh e length, in connection with the Width ol' the clexnp yoke 22 that e wide range oi' adjust ment is possible, enabling the clamp to be eplvied to any Windshield.

hen the adjustable mirror is to be up! plied to the wood frame of an enelosed car, Athe clamp yoke 22 is removed end ihe Chimp plate 8 is directly attaohed to the wood frame by screws 26, Fig. Il, passing through the holes 9, as shown in Figs. Il and Theolarnp plate 8 muy be arranged hoii zontally, instead of vertically, if desil'ed, but in either evenl; the pintle 14 will be dien posed horizontally. The plates 2 and 3 are duplicate and in terchengeable Stalnpings and' So :ire the tension plates l5, 16. The clamp plete 8 is e' stamping to which the pintle .l/l is subse quently applied. The chimp yoke 2:2 e stampinfr. lt is obvious, therefore, that my invention can be cheaply und easily iminu featured and readily assembled.

It will be observed that the clamp plate 8 is only raised above the windshield :i distance equal to the thiekneee of lhe chimp yoke 22 and the horizontal flange ll which is a decided advantage as in some eases the automobile top lies close to the windshield. rl`he arrangement of the olernp yoke 22 under the llenge l1 enables the llenge l1 lo lelie the reaction of the pressure of the edjuisSzne? mee v .lngl sei-en' 25.
